DEDICATION FRIENDSHIP is something to be sought, to be loved, and to be kept alive by kind thoughts and deeds. No one who ever knew Polly was without a friend. She was one of us, the Class of '53, and it was not unusual to see her strolling toward Isenman's on a sunny afternoon after school, to see her surrounded by a group of friends, laughing and talking, or to hear her exclaim excitedly about that wonderful football game, the new hat or pretty coat, and that extra special formal. She attended Mass and received Holy Communion as often as her health allowed and expressed her love of God in her every thought, word and action. Now, while not physically present, she still walks, unseen, through the halls of De Sales. God called His little girl home, but we have not lost a friend. On the contrary, Polly is now a better friend than ever, a friend whose influ- ence lends a helping hand in all our trials and difficulties, a friend who sees us and hears our prayers, a friend who can talk to God for us and a friend who knows and loves us all. To Polly Monaco then, an unforgettable classmate, we dedicate this, our nineteen hundred and fifty-three Salesimi. 1 4 ]
